On the back cover someone blurbs that it's part Agatha Christie and part Stephen King. I found it more along the lines of a Hitchcockian thriller but it was pretty good just the same.
I'm just glad I didn't look up the movie stuff before I read it. I'd heard Scorsese was making it and that sounds about right, but I would have never pictured the people they've cast--not that that's a bad thing. That's why books are usually better than movies. It'll be interesting to see how the film turns out but it was a fun read.
But not tonight. Tonight is for Star Trek.
